Bjørn Gulden, CEO of Adidas, has revealed that the company is two-thirds done with the job cuts at its Herzogenaurach headquarters [1]. During a general meeting in Fürth, Gulden stated this update on Thursday.
The aim of these cuts is to remove complexity and boost efficiency by streamlining redundant or even triplicated business functions within the company [1]. Adidas initially announced plans to slash up to 500 positions at its Herzogenaurach headquarters, offering affected employees severance packages [1].
Adidas is currently weathering the storm of U.S. tariff increases, which could impact the company's financial health in the future [2][3]. Despite these challenges, Adidas remains optimistic about its full-year outlook, propelled by strong demand across lifestyle and performance categories [3].
These job cuts and restructuring efforts form part of Adidas' larger strategy to adapt to industry-wide economic challenges and technological advancements [2].
